Readers’ Corner: Polite Tokyoites(This story was sent to me in May)

I like to use a small bike to cycle for short rides. One day I wanted to see the sights of Tokyo, so I went to Yanaka Ginza carrying my folded bicycle on the train. This is called “rinko” in Japanese. Yanaka Ginza is in downtown Tokyo and was about 6 km from the station where I got off. However, the bicycle paths to the area were very complicated, so I asked seven or eight people how to get there. Those Tokyoites were very polite and helpful and explained how to get to Yanaka Ginza. Their kindness made me feel good, and I had fun while sightseeing. I kept this mood of well-being all the way home on the train.  (121 words)
